| Mental Health and the Faith Community |
It is estimated that roughly 20% of the population of the United States struggles with a mental illness. At last count, there were roughly 120 million prescriptions in the United States for psychotropic medications. Mental illness is a reality and it is a reality that is present within our congregations and the communities that we serve. Many clergy find themselves at a loss when dealing with mentally ill individuals. Most seminaries do not include curriculum related to mental illness, and so the average community pastor does the best that they can. One of our goals here at Eastern State Hospital is to serve as a resource to the faith community. So many of the individuals struggling with mental illness are in need of healthy, understanding, and welcoming churches and faith communities. I would like to take a moment to invite each one of you to our new hospital facility for a community clergy event. This event will feature presentations from psychology, social work, pastoral care, and other individuals involved in psychiatric healthcare. This event will take place at Eastern State Hospital on March 4, 2016. Lunch will be served and a tour of the new facility will be given in addition to the scheduled presentations. The hospital is sponsoring this community event so there is no cost associated with the presentation. Additional details are included in the attached flyer. Please feel free to contact me via the information below if you have any questions. Space is limited, so please RSVP as soon as possible. If you choose to attend and have special dietary requirements, please include that information in your RSVP email.
Blessings,
Mike
